Overview
- Ford was injured rounding first base after a two‑run homer in the Puerto Rico Challenge, and he left the field on a stretcher.
- He posted an Instagram Story saying, “Thank you for all the love and prayers… Be back soon,” along with a thumbs‑up photo from a hospital bed.
- Per NCAA rules, pinch‑runner Jake Lopez completed the circuit so the home run counted, giving Seton Hall a brief 4–3 lead.
- Boston College rallied to win 6–4, and Seton Hall has not announced an official diagnosis for Ford as of Sunday.
- The broadcast drew complaints for slow‑motion replays and a misidentification, and a sports‑medicine doctor called the mechanism unusual while offering outside analysis not tied to Ford’s care.
